"Well, I was interested on whether or not you could prepare something because of this ice guy," Epoch says wiping his head with a towel that was recently handed to him. It was nice to get that water off of his face, and off his suit.

"The individual has been located, all units still within the city are in pursuit. Where is the NSS? Over," A voice over a police scanner says before the Captain of the National Guard could respond.

"I think we could definitely support you with a helicopter to take to to the location, besides, it's the NSS that's supposed to babysit all of the super villains." The Captain replies sternly.

"I'm sorry, sir," Epoch begins, "but my partner, Changeling, and I are actually new to "babysitting" super villains, but I will take you up on the offer."

The Captain grits his teeth, "Goddamn novices," he mumbles between his teeth as he begins to talk into a two-way radio, "Get me a chopper ready, immediately."

"My God! It seems the man can actually shoot what appears to be frozen beams of energy-" The voice on the scanner shouts.

"And send out a few ground patrols to back up the local police." The Captain finishes, looking back at Epoch who now has a shocked look on his face.

Akvo is holding approximately 98 miles an hour in the little blue BMW speeding north on Interstate 44.

"Thank god for cruise control." He says as he holds his arm out the window trying to freeze more cars.

Regardless of the previous rolls Akvo grabs two of his shields, opens the door to the BMW, doing a tuck and roll with the ice shields for protection. A roll of 1 indicates Akvo has sustained serious injuries, 2-4 he's banged up a bit, 5-9 he'll wake up with a bruised rib, 10 he makes it out without a scratch.

Akvo freezes two cars and they fly behind him as he rolls out onto the road. The police unit hits one of the frozen car head on.

Akvo throws what's left of the shields to the ground and prepares to fashion another knowing reinforcements are coming.

Dr. Weird finds a way to pass the remainder of the flight time with a song.

“78 vials of genetically altered DNA on the wall 78 vials of genetically altered DNA take one down put it in a syringe stab it into test subject #36, 77 vials of genetically altered DNA on the wall, 77 vials of genetically altered DNA on the wall 77 vials of genetically altered DNA take one down put it in a syringe stab it into test subject #40, 76 vials of genetically altered DNA on the wall, 76 vials of genetically altered DNA on the wall 76 vials of genetically altered DNA take one down put it in a syringe stab it into test subject #18, 75 vials of genetically altered DNA on the wall, BARRAL ROOOOOLLLLLL…………”

Changeling watches as the spike flies towards the targets vehicle and catches the front driver side tire, however the ice man jumps out wielding two ice shields for protection. He slides along the highway leaving a trail of shredded ice.

Takeshi sat in the passenger seat eyes closed, trying to tune out his insane compatriots absurd... yet relatable, sing song, he pondered to himself,"It has finally come, time to find more individuals like myself, more people to become my prey, a much better game..." Takeshi opened his eyes looking over at Dr.Weird... then abruptly closing his eyes again," This one though, he seems as though he will be a valuable ally."

WHAMBlood flies from Akvo's mouth as Changeling punches him in the stomach. He couldn't breathe. Changeling knocked the wind out of him. Not that it mattered, Akvo knew the blood he was spitting up was from a punctured lung. He gasped hard. He couldn't breathe. What was he going to do?WHAMHis jaw was dislocated now. He winced as air came back to him. His brain forcing himself to breathe. He breathed again. It didn't sting, it cut. He choked on his own blood.

Changeling reared his hand back again. Akvo put his hands up in defense but something took control in the back of his head. Fight or flight perhaps? He couldn't flee so maybe his powers were causing him to fight.Akvo rolls to use Superior Skill Shoot Sharp Icicles aiming for Changeling's face 1-4 is a failure 5-10 is a success.

"Thanks!" Epoch shouts back to the National Guard pilot as he runs from the helicopter a dozen yards or so from the fight. Running as fast as he can, Epoch notices an icicle go sailing toward Changeling.

Shit! Epoch thinks as he blinks his eyes in an attempt to stop the frosty fiend.

It's just not my day today, Epoch thinks to himself, jumping back after Akvo blocked the punch. This ice guy just isn't giving up, those icicles look like they do some real damage! Epoch catches his breath while Akvo struggles to do something. (Note previous post of Akvo's)

Changeling! Epoch spins around and sprints to his ally, now laying painfully on the ground.

The first icicle hurt enough to begin with, but the pain dulled before long. The second icicle renewed the pain, but Changeling expected it this time. It hit his face with a thud and shattered like the first. He turned over and looked to Epoch, who had just called his name.

Epoch needs me, no time for pain.

Changeling struggled a bit to stand but felt his strength returning after a brief moment.

"Care to try and hit me again? Or can you only hit someone if its a cheap shot?"

Approaching their destination Dr. Weird disengages the warp drive as he finishes the last verse of the song he started. “WE’RE HERE!” shouted Dr. Weird, “WAIT, it just occurred to me, my Asian friend, THAT I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO LAND THIS PLAN.”

The instrument panel began to light up; Dr. Weird looked just in time to see a helicopter in their flight path.

The plane missing one wing now flies to the Earth kicking up a curtain of dirt as it crashes. When it comes to a stop Dr. Weird rises out of the cockpit like a majestic phoenix rising from its ashes, surveying and seeing the man in blue jump suit, two bleeding individuals Dr. Weird looks back to him companion “HEY BRUCE LEE I THINK WE ARE HERE,” turning back to the crowd now looking in their direction. “I HOPE ITS OK IF I PARK HERE, FINDING A PLACE AT THIS TIME OF DAY WAS A BITCH.”
